Black Excellence Day was created by the Ninandotoo Society and takes place in January each year as a lead up to Black History Month in February. It is a day to rejoice Black history and learn about Black stories, Black art and Black people, and to stand in solidarity with Black Canadians.
North Delta student Dieulane Miller played a pivotal role in this year’s Black Excellence Day celebrations as she created a striking design for this year’s Black Excellence Day T-shirt.
“I have always loved art, dancing, singing and drawing,” said Miller. “I am so thankful to have the opportunity to design for such a great cause that helps me be proud to be a black young woman in today’s world. My design for the T-shirt was inspired by knowing that there were and are people that didn’t get to share their stories.”
Miller, who is part of her school’s Anti-Racism team, helps to organize the culture board at the school to celebrate different cultures and races in the school and wider local community.
